Netflix Australia vs Netflix US TV shows library comparison

12 October 2018

Netflix US might dominate Netflix Australia and New Zealand when it comes to content, but do you know exactly what you're missing out on?

Since Netflix finally launched Down Under, Aussies have enjoyed a bevy of exclusive series and hours upon hours of quality television and movies. However, the service is far from perfect. Netflix Australia still lacks many of the titles available in the US Netflix library, from hot new shows to all-time classics. In the table below, we've listed some of the most popular TV shows on Netflix US and whether they're available on Netflix here Down Under.

Thanks for your question. To remove a show from your personal list on Netflix, scroll to the “My List” section on the Netflix home page, click the series you want to remove and then click the tick next to the words “My List” beside the show’s description. This will remove the series from your personal list.

Thanks for your comment! Netflix is regularly updating its library with new content and removing TV shows, and though this list was accurate at the time of writing, it’s possible the library has since changed. If I may ask, which shows do you believe are incorrectly labelled?

That’s a bloody good question. Currently, Sydney Weekender isn’t available on Netflix or even its Aussie competitors, Presto or Stan. As for which provider decides to stream Sydney Weekender first, I’d say it’s a case of who dares wins.

Unfortunately, Grey’s Anatomy is not available to stream on any service in Australia. I would recommend downloading the later seasons through iTunes at $2.99 an episode or $29.99 for the entire season.

Important information about this website

finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of major banks, insurers and product issuers.

finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product. You should consider whether the products featured on our site are appropriate for your needs and seek independent advice if you have any questions.

Products marked as 'Promoted' or "Advertisement" are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options and find the best option for you.

The identification of a group of products, as 'Top' or 'Best' is a reflection of user preferences based on current website data. On a regular basis, analytics drive the creation of a list of popular products. Where these products are grouped, they appear in no particular order.

Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment.

We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.

Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.

Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
